According to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, the world of basketball recruiting sees Mason as the No. 264 overall recruit in the 2021 recruiting class. He also ranks as the No. 41 point guard in the nation and the number-seven player in the state of Kansas. Mason's other reported offers in the past included Nebraska, Kansas State, Florida International and New Mexico State among others.

Just sayin': Moser should do OK at Oklahoma, but to actually compete for Big XII Championships he'll need more than 3 star point guards, etc.

Florida forward Keyontae Johnson's collapse unrelated to COVID-19, family says

Florida forward Keyontae Johnson's collapse during a game two months ago was "not related to or a result of a previous or current" COVID-19 diagnosis, his family said in a statement Wednesday.

Johnson was rushed to a local hospital on Dec. 12 after falling face-first onto the court following a timeout in the first half of a game against Florida State in Tallahassee. He was listed in critical but stable condition, school officials said, before being airlifted to a hospital in Gainesville days later with his mother by his side, where he slowly recovered and started to communicate with his family and friends in the days that followed.

Like most of his teammates, Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 during the summer. The coronavirus can lead to myocarditis, a viral infection of the heart muscle.

"University of Florida Health treating physicians consulted with other local and national experts who reviewed the relevant imaging and testing related to this case," the family's statement said. "The unanimous conclusion of all experts is that Keyontae's medical emergency was not related to or a result of a previous or current Covid diagnosis."

3. BIG TEN
10373117.jpg


NCAA Tournament bid percentage: 64.3% (9-of-14) (second)
NCAA Tournament record: 8-9 (sixth)
Top 75 NBA Draft prospects: 8 (fifth)
Average NET ranking: 46.4 (first)
Average NET ranking excluding bottom two teams: 35.4 (second)

Looking at that average NET ranking and the sheer number of teams the Big Ten put in the NCAA Tournament explains quite a bit about why the Big Ten has been KenPom’s top league in each of the last two seasons. And the conference headed into the NCAA Tournament in a strong position to make serious noise with two No. 1 seeds and two No. 2 seeds. Instead, only one of those four teams made it out of the opening weekend. Ohio State, a No. 2 seed, fell victim to Oral Roberts’ Cinderella run, with the Golden Eagles topping the Buckeyes in overtime in the first round. The other three top seeds from the Big Ten all reached the second round, though Iowa (Oregon) and Illinois (Loyola Chicago) were both upset and sent home early by double digits. Wisconsin and Maryland, which showed up well in first-round victories, were sent home by double digits in the second round as well. Rutgers acquitted itself better, but lost to a heroic Houston comeback as the Cougars charged on to the Final Four. And a promising Purdue team and a First Four Michigan State team each lost their first contests.

That means, for all the conference’s regular season success, Michigan was the only team to reach the Sweet 16. And the Wolverines nearly gave the conference a winning tournament record but had a miserable offensive showing in a 51-49 loss to UCLA in the Elite Eight. No one can discount the regular season that the league had, and there were some circumstances that didn’t help the tournament showing (Michigan being without Isaiah Livers, Ohio State without Kyle Young, etc.). Even so, for the conference to produce four of the tournament’s top eight seeds and still wind up with a losing record was a shock — Cobb called it “a dismal showing” — and likely pushed the league down a spot or two here on this list.

Just sayin': Yeah, the B1G "laid an egg" in the NCAA tournament.
